Explaining the Technology of Dial-up vs. DIRECWAY Dial-up We’ve
all used dial-up access at some point in our lives. In today’s world you’re
not exactly traveling in the fast lane with a dial-up connection. It may be
available in most arrears, but is it worth: Limitations of Dial-up:
- Available in most areas, but long=distance fees may apply.
- Ties up
your phone line.
- Slow surfing speeds (capped at 56k, but typically much
slower).
- Logging on every time you want to use the Internet (and risking
getting “bumped” off).
- Can’t talk and surf at the same
time (without the purchase of an additional phone line.)

DIRECWAY
DIRECWAY utilizes satellite technology to send
and receive the Internet to your computer, making it available throughout most
of Canada. While satellites give you high-speed Internet, the distance between
our satellite and your dish does produce micro-fraction time delay or latency
during transmissions, which may not be perfect for “twitch” games
or online trading that need split-second reactions. So, if you’re a big
online gamer or utilizing a VPN, DIRECWAY may not be ideal for you. Limitations
of DIRECWAY - Not ideal for some online (twitch) games, or
utilizing a VPM.
